"The apartment issue"
During six years (2011-2017) when Vovk has been the chairman, nine of his subordinates received service apartments. Five out of nine apartments were deprived the status of service apartments. Later they were privatized. Activists described the scheme according to which privatization took place. Namely: quite large apartments in new buildings were declared unfit for living, "because their usage requires material investments".
In 2004, according to conclusion of the PIC, Vovk himself also used his right to privatize the apartment. And then he as the judge received another apartment that had been privatized and sold later.

Doubtful assets
According to conclusion of the Public Integrity Council, which had evaluated Vovk during competition to the Supreme Court in 2017, he made 33 trips abroad (including trips to famous world resorts) during three years (2012-2015).

In general, the Public Integrity Council calculated that Vovk has been outside Ukraine for more than six months during that period.

At the same time, declaration also included one million hryvnias from entrepreneurship: his wife earned this money for less than 3.5 months from the moment of registration of her entrepreneurship.

Fictitious divorce
In 2017, the HQCJ decided to transfer materials to the NACP regarding possible Vovk's corruption. But there they decided that declaration of chairman of DACK had neither administrative nor criminal offenses.
At the same time, the Public Integrity Council concluded that Vovk's divorce in 2015 was probably fictitious in order to hide assets from declaring.
